Dogfight
A free native Apple Watch arcade game where you steer the blue fighter by tilting, tap to fire and outfly an adaptive opponent among cloud cover. English and German. Version 1.5 build 9 has been uploaded to App Store Connect.
A pocket-sized air duel for your wrist
Dogfight is a free, focused arcade round for Apple Watch: steer the blue fighter on your wrist, pick your moment and survive an opponent that becomes more dangerous over time.
Tilt to steer
On Apple Watch, a brief neutral calibration turns wrist movement into smooth, filtered aircraft steering. The simulator provides proportional drag steering for testing.
Tap to fire
Fire directly on the watch display. Public watchOS input APIs keep the control simple, while cooldown timing rewards deliberate shots.
Face an adaptive rival
The rule-based opponent patrols, aims, avoids close contact and gradually gains a wider view and faster firing cadence.
Use cloud cover
Opaque clouds hide aircraft and block the opponent's line of sight, creating short openings to reposition or escape.
Blue versus red
The blue player fighter and red opponent share the rounded playfield. After the final hit, a compact parachuting pilot descends from the shoot-down point and disappears at the lower edge.
Keep score
Dogfight stores the latest 50 completed rounds locally and can submit player wins to a Game Center leaderboard when the service is configured.
English, German and RTL-ready
The interface follows the Apple Watch language in English or German. Semantic layout keeps future right-to-left languages possible without redesigning the screens.

Native, compact and ready for App Store review
Dogfight 1.5 build 9 is uploaded to App Store Connect. It targets Apple Watch running watchOS 26.5 or later, follows the device language in English and German, and will be offered as a free download after Apple approval.
Swift 6.3 simulation
A fixed-step Swift simulation with complete concurrency checking, Sendable state and actor-isolated UI drives the game while SwiftUI Canvas renders the playfield at 30 Hz.
Apple framework integration
Core Motion handles calibrated tilt input, WatchKit supplies event feedback, and GameKit provides optional leaderboard authentication and submission.
Free and private by design
Dogfight is free, with no ads, analytics, tracking, subscriptions or in-app purchases. Recent rounds remain only on the watch. Full privacy information is available at ios.gekko.de/dogfight-privacy.
